Answer:

k = -1/2 or -0.5

Explanation:

4k - 11 + 15 = 2

First of all, you need to move the -11 and +15 to the right hand side, to remain 4k

4k -11 + 15 = 2

+11 -15 +11 - 15

You end up with,

4k = 2 + 11 -15

The numbers on the right hand side can make a sum of 2 + 11 - 15 = 13 - 15 = -2

4k = -2

Divide the 4 by the -2

k = -2/4

k = -1/2

This can be written as -0.5 as well
